Lasting Weight Loss
 
Weight Loss Without Drugs, Surgery, or Exercise!
 
What's the first thing you think of when contemplating a weight loss program? Due to popular TV shows, most people will answer "exercise." Lately, due to overblown billboard and radio advertising, your answer might have even been "surgery." If these were really the magic answers the advertisers wanted you to believe they are, then why don't they work for everyone? Why would anyone go to the extreme of abdominal surgery for weight loss? Just don't do it! Put surgery and crisis care last on your list!
 
Many people will simply not lose weight, or keep it off, even by adding vigorous exercise to their schedules spanning several weeks or months. Why? Is there an underlying problem like a metabolic imbalance? You might think that a slow thyroid could be the culprit, yet when your thyroid blood tests come out within normal range, you may be left with no answers.
 
Survival ModeYou may have a problem with excess weight because your body has been triggered into a functional "survival mode physiology." In "survival mode physiology," your body keeps wanting to store excess weight When your body's information-processing-pathways are confused, your whole body responds to food differently than normal. If your body reacts as if it were in a mode of survival –needing to save and store fat– then it is only doing so because that is what it would do in a real, desperately needed survival crisis! Your body survives perfectly, but not in your long-term best interests.
 
So what can be done about this unwanted fat? Instead of just trying to overcome the excess weight reaction by trying to bypass your body's own regulatory systems with drugs or surgery, we have to find the reasons why it wants to react this way in the first place. Using drugs to force a solution, and bypass the body's natural regulation systems will ultimately fail because as soon as the intervention stops, your body will come right back to the way it was before the intervention. And abdominal surgery? Once you start on our program, you will always be thankful that you never went down that path! Eating less because you might feel full sooner is not the answer to better health. In reality, it is just slow starvation, and starvation is never the best way to lose weight.
 
How Can You Know if your body is stuck in survival mode? The first thing that we must do is determine if your body is processing information as in a survival reaction. Then we must address the causes of that reaction. That way we can help your body's own regulatory systems to reset back to normal. No drugs or surgery are ever needed for this. Even where exercise has failed in your attempts to loose weight before, this will work.
 
Case in point: an 18 year old male presented to me standing six feet six inches tall and weighing 330 pounds. He wanted to loose weight. With our unique testing methods we found that there were multiple causes why his body was functioning in survival mode physiology. As a holistic weight loss specialist, we (doctor working with the patient) addressed those causes and put him on a course of natural, nutritional supplements, chiropractic, and a modified eating program. Within 3 weeks he had safely lost sixteen pounds and two notches on his belt buckle (his pants were falling off)! He is on a course that will give him his desired results including better health.
 
Weight loss without drugs, bariatric surgery, liposuction, or even exercise is easier than you think. When you start on this natural and holistic program, you will be moving in the right direction. It's all about revealing and really meeting your individual needs. When you're ready for a proper exercise program, it is recommended. Until then, you can naturally lose weight while you're still looking for a knowledgable personal trainer.
